Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges
As the man claims that his shotgun went off accidentally, I don't think you can claim he was "pointing" his weapon at the girl with purpose, it could have been in her direction. And unless you have access to the actual forensics involved, then you are assuming way too much.
But, I will say this is a tragedy, the girl should be alive today. It is just sad that the area in which he lives prompts him to assume danger first....
So he accidentally shot what he was pointing his shotgun at? I'm sorry, 2nd degree murder is appropriate when someone is so insanely reckless that they carelessly disregard human life by pointing a weapon at someone who's not a threat.
